when contemplating the 2 main purposes for my firearm it is more likely to serve its purpose as keeping me alive than it does as a hobby. You know, like if some idiot walks in my house at 3am or you try and harm my family. Why did you mention the world ending?

your post said potential survival. i can interprate that in different ways. i respect your right to protect yourself. but if say you buy 5000 rounds of ammo and dont let the honest people buy, then how do honest shooters protect themselfs or shoot to sharpen skills if they cant find ammo to buy. other then maning up and making their own shit. didnt' know it was possibly to reload rimfire .22 LR
